Blow all of your money?

[MrDawn]

Have you ever blown your money after a paycheck? I think its most common when we are teenagers or kids in middle school. I do my very best to save money, but I end up using it mainly on my bills. Living paycheck to paycheck, that sort of thing.

 

[Gizmo]

I do it all the time.

Now that I'm older I save 75% of my check and the rest goes towards bills and fun. It's nice to have a decent savings going.

 

[Gimgak]

I've blown whatever savings I've had on travel before & it's been worth it. Still more than half my paycheck goes towards rent and other living expenses.

 

[Gizmo]

The funny thing is I always have this plan to start saving but then I end up needing to use it on something :lol:

 

[Gimgak]

Yeah, I mean I figure if I don't use it on a plane ticket I'll end up blowing it on something I'll later get buyer's remorse from. Waay better to spend $250 on a ticket to Bogota than some clothes I don't need 😛

 

[Gizmo]

I get $272 a week from the government due to medical and mental health reasons I had to go on Welfare as the doctor doesn't want me working for at least two years.

After bills, I've got about 150 left. It's gone the same day I get it.

Living paycheck to paycheck is the way I go and the way most teenagers go nowadays I think. I manage, just like the millions of others out there. Saying that, in the UK at least, I reckon 90% of people under the age of 50 or so probably live from paycheck to paycheck... that's just the way times are now.

 

[Kino]

I definitely have. Normally when I start a new job, the first paycheck goes for things I want.

I'm trying my best to get over living paycheck to paycheck, especially because now I have a full time job, but I just finally got back in the black, so it's definitely going to be hard to get in the green. But, recently I've been getting a lot better at spending money on stuff I actually need, and prioritizing my wants.

 

[Thomasss]

I think I am pretty good at saving my money for a rainy day, granted I do not have bills that I have to pay yet however I still think I would be pretty good at prioritizing what I need and want. 😛

 

[Reverie]

When I was a teenager my first paychecks were used to pay the bills actually. I was really responsible with my money surprisingly. But I usually did go out on pay day/weekend and enjoy something for myself. 🙂

 

[MasterA]

Most of the time I would save most of it and I would very rarely spend all of it.

 

[Allenafaith]

I don't get a paycheck but when my parents give me money, I usually spend it the same day.

 

[Mikaya]

I usually save my money to pay bills. Any spare left over, I buy the things I don't need, but the things I want.

Even when I was younger, my parents told me to save whenever I could. Then I can get the finer things in life. (i.e laptops, game consoles) :lol:

 

[ndk2303]

I rarely do it. An amount of money, I can use for many things in a period of time. And it belongs to the size of that amount

 

[Sharon]

I don't think I've ever "blown away" any of my paychecks even when I was younger. I did indulge here and there but I remained generally financially responsible. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that my parents and older brothers were in deep debt that I found myself trying all I can not to be in their situation.

 

[MrDawn]

I have spending issues!

 

[MeganChan]

I put a good portion in the bank, but I often can easily blow what I keep for me during the week. Sometimes I try to save. It varies.

 

[Nebulous]

Being an independent adult, my money needs to last. If I blew my paycheck on something frivolous, I'd be in trouble and there's nobody to help me. I'd be surviving on top ramen by candlelight.

:lol:
